    Isn't it wild that we all get antsy when we don't get our Leo fix? I just worry that he is physically okay and not hurt or something, wouldn't want to lose his genius. Glad he piped in and let us know. Phew.

    Its just a hiccup no need to worry

    Thanks a lot @Joseph Maynor for those wise words that, unfortunately, nobody asked for. Also, no one ever tried to one-up you, it was just a facetious remark and you apparently took it too literal once again. 

    Thanks.. he needs a chill pill lol

    @Leo Gura it would be nice if you could tell the forum and set a new deadline. Maybe write a one of them posts on youtube. A lot of people have worked it in to their Sunday schedule somehow to watch the new vid. A heads up could let people adjust their schedule. Some people even worry that it's because something happened to you. 

    Agreed +1

    @Prabhaker @okulele Then the only way to find out is to just try both, its just that im the type of person who tries to understand the whole process before he goes through the journey lol.

    And also i started getting ego backlashes just after a week of mindful meditation (it really made me conscious throughout the day) and getting rid of some bad habits and addictions, the backlash got me feeling guilty and kinda depressed. this is what made me think that i got some demons inside me to deal with.

    I just found out about osho's dynamic meditation, and it has "Second stage" which is similar to the deep breathing and letting go of the trapped emotions concepts.

    My question is this whats the relationship between them? is it the same thing? and does all this count as a "Shadow work" ?

    As this is a new-age concepts there is no reliable resources out there so i would love if you provide any information or personal experience that you think would be valuable.

    @Spinoza Finding a partner and signing up for marathon would be a the best practical advice.

    It'll force you to run everyday, even the days you feel like giving up your partner will help reinforcing your commitment.

    Also i highly suggest having a meditation habit in place, its easier to do and it makes you more aware of your mind when it starts making excuses to not go for a run or any productive activity in general.

    Finally, you gotta keep in mind that you're there for the pleasure of the running itself.

    Good luck buddy ^_^

    Hello!

    This book is practical guide for personal freedom written by the Mexican author Miguel Ruiz, he clarifies the root of our limiting beliefs based on ancient Toltec wisdom that rob us from our joy and creates needless suffering.

    Its just a quick review due to the size of the book, but i suggest re-reading it to suck all juice.

    The four agreements:

    • Be impeccable with your word: Speak with integrity, only use your word in the direction of love and love. Never use it against yourself nor others, because just an unclear way of shooting yourself in the leg.
    • Dont make assumptions: Always look for the courage to ask questions, communicate as clearly as possible, try to avoid any chance for misunderstanding.
    • Dont take anything personally: No matter what the situation might be, every act a person does reflects only oneself. This might not be obvious but literally if you find the courage to dig deep in any act you'll see that its only a projection of their reality.
    • Always do your best: This might be different from each person to another, or even from the healthy you and sick version of you. Your best will differ each day, but simply by giving your all there will be no room for regret.

    Inspiring quotes from the book:

    Quote

    “If someone is not treating you with love and respect, it is a gift if they walk away from you. If that person doesn't walk away, you will surely endure many years of suffering with him or her. Walking away may hurt for a while, but your heart will eventually heal. Then you can choose what you really want. You will find that you don't need to trust others as much as you need to trust yourself to make the right choices.”

     

    Quote

    “If others tell us something we make assumptions, and if they don't tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate. Even if we hear something and we don't understand we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions. We make all sorts of assumptions because we don't have the courage to ask questions.”

     

    Quote

    “God is life. God is life in action. The best way to say, "I love you, God," is to live your life doing your best. The best way to say, "Thank you, God," is by letting go of the past and living in the present moment, right here and now. Whatever life takes away from you, let it go. When you surrender and let go of the past, you allow yourself to be fully alive in the moment. Letting go of the past means you can enjoy the dream that is happening right now.”

    @nour-cha93 To the degree you have inquired into yourself, you have inquired into others. If you’ve gone through, to nothing, you’ve done the same with others. You’d see their attitudes and actions for what they are, relativity, maya, you wouldn’t see them as negative, you’d see them as wanting to be happy, igonrant, and lost, like you once were. If you want to be unaffected by others, know thy self. There’s no assertion. Another person is not making you feel a single thing, it is your thoughts which make you feel “their” negative vibes. You can’t be free of this while you blame. 

    If you want to see for yourself there is no assertion, give up ever needing to be understood. 

    @Nahm Im litterly taking notes of what you say lol

    Your answers are so profound man, keep up the good work!

    For you, for now, frame it up like this: I am either thinking, or aware. Not a combination. Always one or the other. So throughout your day, when you notice monkey mind, over thinking - just say “Oh, I’m thinking, now I’ll be awareness instead”, and be aware off all your senses, what you’re hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling, how your body feels, etc. Do analyze it, just be aware and accept what is. 

    @Nahm quite genius articulation mate
